Chewy Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Cookies

I thought I would share with everyone one of my favorite desserts from childhood.

When I was growing up, the schools I attended actually had kitchens and cooks, and healthy, nutritious food was prepared on-site. A large chunk of the ingredients used by these kitchens was in the form of commodities, distributed by the US Department of Agriculture - which also provided recipes for best use of those commodities. One of those recipes was for peanut butter cookies!

Uncle Billy's Breakfast Tonic

My Honey's Uncle Billy was a very affable man. I don't think he ever met anyone that he couldn't turn into a buddy. This was a very good thing in a salesman, and a salesman he was!

Grandma Sallie's Brunswick Stew

As the firstborn grandchild, I was the apple of my maternal grandmother's eye, and I've been told all my life that she spoiled me outrageously.
